Embracing the Aloha Spirit
At Aloha Spirit Therapy, “aloha” is more than a greeting—it’s a way of being. Rooted in the values I learned during my years growing up in Hawaiʻi, the Aloha Spirit reflects presence, compassion, humility, patience, and love. It invites us to slow down, to truly listen, and to honor the humanity in ourselves and others.
In the therapy room, this means creating a space where you feel welcomed exactly as you are. It’s a space where all parts of you, your desires, questions, fears, and longings are met with warmth and curiosity, not judgment. The Aloha Spirit reminds us that healing and growth happen best when we feel safe, respected, and deeply seen. These values at the heart of the Aloha Spirit align beautifully with the work in sex therapy.
When working with individuals and couples, I bring the energy of aloha through gentle honesty, mutual respect, and an openness to whatever shows up. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about supporting you in reconnecting with your wholeness, your joy, and your inner wisdom.
The Aloha Spirit invites us to embrace complexity with love, to hold space for nuance, and to move toward greater connection with ourselves and each other.

Rooted in expertise, focused on you
Transformation happens in relationship. When we feel seen without judgment, something begins to soften. Curiosity grows. And new possibilities start to take shape. This is not about fixing you. It’s about expanding what’s possible in your connection to yourself, in your intimacy with others, and in the freedom to feel, want, and choose with clarity.
Together, we’ll trace the patterns that echo through your relationships and tend to the places where old stories still live in your body. We’ll honor the intelligence of your nervous system, the complexity of your inner world, and the power of pleasure to awaken what’s been dormant.
Laughter may live next to grief. Insight might arrive through sensation. Healing isn’t linear. It’s alive. It breathes with you and asks only that you keep showing up.
This work is grounded in presence, guided by trust, and infused with aloha. I’m not here to lead you anywhere you’re not ready to go. I’ll walk with you with honesty, humanity, warmth, and deep respect for the unfolding of your story.
Desire, fear, shame, and longing are not problems to solve here. They are messengers. They belong.
Sex Therapy is a space of radical permission, where you don’t have to perform, fix, or hold it all together. Parts of you that have been quieted or hidden are given the safety and connection they need to speak.

Sex Positive. Trauma- Informed. Fully Human.
I believe in living life with presence, meaning, and a touch of play. I’m a sex therapist, a mother, a partner, and a curious human doing my own inner work too. I care deeply about creating space for growth while also staying grounded in what matters to me: ritual, connection, and joy.
Outside the therapy room, you can usually find me near the ocean. It’s where I feel most alive and connected with myself and the world around me. Whether I’m watching the sunset, racing my kids up and down the sand, or enjoying a picnic with poké and fresh fruit, I try to soak in the beauty as often as possible. I love classic rock, folk music, tropical breezes, running, hot yoga, painting, and roller skating. Laughter is part of my daily medicine.
As a sex therapist trained in IFS and EMDR, I’m fascinated by the incredible ways our inner worlds speak to us through desire, emotions, memories, and even symptoms. Through the lens of sex therapy, I love helping clients connect the dots, soften old patterns, develop compassion for themselves, and feel the spark of clarity that can change everything. Watching people reclaim their voice, remember their worth, and create deeper intimacy is what lights me up.
